“Mandatory Development: the Global Politics of Economic Development in the Colonial Middle East”.

In progress: press submission 2018.

I am currently at work on a book project organized around several themes in the history of the French Mandate in Syria-Lebanon: the influence of World War One on the economic and social theorization of colonial rule, the impact of transnational and global diaspora on the politics of colonial economic development, the role of the League of Nations as a platform for the creation of new economic and legal norms in international and imperial politics.
